Two weeks ago I sent Satoshi a port update (which was merely updating ./Makefile, ./files/md5, and ./pkg/* since the patches also work for the new version). Satoshi asked me if I could also adapt the directory layout to FreeBSD's standards. -- The old port doesn't care about that. -- But I haven't yet had the time to work on it. I can look into it this weekend. But if there is anyone else volunteering to do it -- no problem. -Bernd
